Bonners Ferry Police Chief Bob Boone recently
recognized Dean Satchwell for his years of
service to the community both as an employee and
volunteer for the City of Bonners Ferry and the
Bonners Ferry Police Department, presenting him
with the department's Distinguished Service
award.
During Dean’s career he always maintained the
attitude of going far above and beyond whatever
was requested or required of him and he always
put the best interest of his fellow employees
and the City of Bonners Ferry first.
Dean began his career in law enforcement in 1974
as an officer with the Rathdrum Police
Department, serving until 1976, when he joined
the Adams County, Washington, Sheriff’s Office
where he retired in 1999 as investigative
supervisor and chief criminal deputy.
Dean continued his law enforcement career as a
dispatcher with the Boundary County Sheriff’s
Office in 2001 and as a reserve officer with the
Bonners Ferry Police Department.
Dean was hired by the Bonners Ferry Police
Department as administrative assistant in 2002
and he assisted as a computer administrator for
the City Of Bonners Ferry.
He's done all this in recent years despite
undergoing treatment in Seattle and most
recently to Spokane for treatment of myeloma, a
form of cancer that begins in the plasma in bone
marrow. In addition to survive the disease, Dean
has been an outspoken advocate for myeloma
awareness throughout the region.
Dean brought years of prior experience in law
enforcement to Bonners Ferry and he provided
extensive training and assistance with criminal
investigations. Dean also worked as the evidence
technician with the Bonner County Sheriff’s
Office.
Dean has continued his career as a volunteer for
the Bonners Ferry Police Department, managing
and maintaining the city speed trailer, working
on policy and procedures manuals, and providing
training on evidence collection.
Thank you Dean for all the dedication,
participation, and volunteered hours to our
community and the Bonners Ferry Police
Department. |
